Was this the Rome of Bede, Offa, Wulfstan, Æthelred? " blog.oup.com/2024/03/england-a @histodon @histodons @medievodons

The actors in this debate would produce arguments that were later adopted by members of George Washington’s cabinet."

"The author argues that a cadre of Southern theologians rejected the liberal heritage of the United States and redefined the relationship between the individual and state. Southern clerical fascists reconceived of an alternative modernity that reflected God’s precepts. Slaves, laborers, and slave masters all had a mandate to guide secular and spiritual progress."
